Celibacy means transmuting the inherent source of energy existing within every human being into more creative channels. Non indulgence in sex or abstinence from sexual contact merely is not celibacy. Celibacy is preserving this vital energy in search of God Almighty.
For a serious seeker of spirituality... practicing celibacy is an absolute must. If one desires to reach the level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed... one need practice celibacy for a continuous minimum period of 12 years. This is an essential must if one desires to gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) in the present life.
On the path of pure spirituality every human being has 1.1 million manifestations to reach the goal of enlightenment. This roughly totals to an earthly journey of 12.1 million years... a long time indeed! To expedite the journey practice of celibacy becomes an essential must. It is like taking the staircase in the normal course and if we need to expedite our journey... a fast elevator straight up is the only solution. This is made possible by 12 years of absolute celibacy.
Not to mention that God Almighty provides a quota of cosmic energy every month to every man and woman on Mother Earth. We need to preserve this quota. We need to practice celibacy. As the energy builds up... our Kundalini gets activated and the moment full awakening of the Kundalini occurs... one gains enlightenment and then salvation.
There is no shortcut method for awakening of the Kundalini. The moment the Kundalini awakens fully... the Shahastra Pushpa in our forehead opens fully and we reach the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi when one can have a dialogue with God on one-to-one basis. What a blissful stage this is... something that can never be expressed in words! More on Celibacy - http://www.godrealized.com/celibacy.html

to remain physically chaste
to remain a virgin-The Greek term parthenos can apply to both men and single women.
The Apostle Paul recommended singleness as the better course for Christians having self control. However he also said if they are lacking self control let them marry for it is not a sin if they are past the bloom of youth.

It means to live without sexual relationships. Usually referring to men abstaining from relationships with women and vice versa. However, it also refers to any other form of sexual relationship. Chastity is a nearly synonymous term. Thus, we are taught chastity before marriage and fidelity after marriage.

No sex acts of any kind with another individual. That includes oral/toys/hands/penetration and anything else that involves genital stimulation, whether it's your genitals or another persons genitals.
It wouldn't include onanism, unless the act took place during 'phone sex'. Then it would be against the rules.
